Yeah, Panty Explosion is now on sale at EN World.
Sorry I haven't responded to this sooner. I've been at Gencon all week selling Panty Explosion. The print version of the game looks fantastic and sold very fast. Thanks to whoever it was from here on the forums who came by and bought a copy and said you didn't think the name was that bad. I appreciate it.
What can I tell you about Panty Explosion? There’s a new page on our site that answers a lot of questions about the game. You can see it
here.
Panty Explosion is all about relationships. I know that doesn’t sound very exciting, but it is. You and your friends play normal, mundane Japanese schoolgirls, trying to work your way through Japans brutal high school and your awkward teen years. One or more of you is secretly psychic, and your terrible powers are slowly eating away at your sanity and threatening to destroy everything you care about. There is a Demon. The Demon may be an actual monster, or it may be something more mundane like a lecherous teacher, a bully or a ghost. You and your friends have to work together to confront and overcome this Demon. This is where the relationships come in and things get interesting. Not everything within your group of friends is perfect. Relationships are strained. Strange things have been happening, and your starting to suspect each other of being psychic. Worse, within your group not everyone is actually friends. Each player chooses one student to be their best friend, and another to be their rival. When you take an action and succeed your best friend gets to describe your success. When you fail, it's your rival that gets to describe the outcome. If you have to jump out your bedroom window to escape the ghost of your lecherous grandfather that has taken control of the family dog then you'll have to roll dice and hope for a success. If you succeed, then your best friend describes how you throw your lamp into the dogs face and vault out the window, shattering the glass and landing safely on the roof of the family car. If you fail your rival won't be so kind. She might describe how you escape out the window but lose your robe and have to run through the neighborhood naked. Worse, she might describe how the dog knocks you down as you leap for the window and sinks its teeth into your exposed throat.
Relationships do more then effect how your actions are described. Several time during each game the students vote for popularity. The most popular girl gets to roll 10 sided dice when taking actions. The least popular girl rolls 6 sided dice and everyone else rolls 8 sided dice. You need a 5 or better to succeed at an action, so its best to stay on your friends good side so they don't vote you least popular. Its also important to know that a known psychic can never be the most popular girl, so she should try to hide her powers as long as possible.
What else can I tell you?
